A man was killed Monday after a shooting broke out in a Home Depot parking lot in Phoenix over merchandise being sold online, authorities said.

A couple in a white Toyota was waiting in the parking lot near 99th Avenue and Camelback Road when a man in a black Escalade pulled up, said Trent Crump, a spokesman for Phoenix police.

The pair was waiting to meet the buyer of some merchandise they had been selling online, Crump said.
